It's no secret that a majority of the Chicago sports fanbase, including some Bulls fans, don't like the Green Bay Packers. After all, the Packers and the Chicago Bears have a long-standing rivalry in the NFL, one of the longest in the league. Even just implying that you're an Aaron Rodgers fan would earn you some side-eyes.
Knowing this, the Bulls have crafted a devious strategy to distract opponents shooting free-throws. This TikTok video shows how the people at the United Center have weaponized Chicago's disdain for the Packers against opposing teams. (Via InstantSports)

That's absolutely hilarious. During the Bulls' home game against the Memphis Grizzlies, the JumboTron operator flashed the Packers logo on the screen to encourage home fans to boo. That's truly a 200 IQ play from that man, who knew exactly how to push the buttons of Chicago sports fans attending the game.
And it's perfect timing too! Just a few weeks ago, Rodgers and the Packers steamrolled the Bears in their matchup against each other. During that game, Rodgers was caught taunting the home crowd, screaming “I still own you!” after scoring the game-sealing touchdown. That will likely keep Chicago sports fans seething mad at Rodgers for the next few years or so.
Unfortunately for Rodgers, he has more things to take care of than his ownership of the Bears and Bulls fans trolling him. The Packers star has been caught in a major controversy after a positive COVID test revealed that he misled the NFL with regards to his vaccination status. It's a wild night for Rodgers, and Bulls fans taunting him and the Packers are the least of his worries.
